More than 150,000 British and American soldiers deserted during WWII but the subject gets little attention from most historians. This smoothly written work raises sobering and disturbing questions about the stress of continual combat and the limits of individual endurance. Who's a coward? Who's a casualty? ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis

A tragic and sordid story brilliantly explained in just 250 pages by a careful scholar. The kind of book that should be required reading for a wide audience seeking real understanding of the brutal racism and unstoppable avarice that emerged in colonial America and held center stage throughout the 19th century. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis

An expert scholar and excellent writer takes the reader to Congress from 1774 to 1776. The journey from protest to independence was gradual, surprising, and difficult. The excellence of this book is in making the story completely understandable-and just plain fascinating. A work that will stand the test of time. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis

A tale so unlikely and so moving that it seems like fiction. The fact that it's true makes it even more amazing. The following overworked superlatives are appropriate: fascinating, informative, stirring, inspiring, and impossible to put down. A singular reading experience that you'll remember and recommend. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis

Rejecting the theory that the Great War was somehow inevitable, Clark dramatically and meticulously recreates a time when human decisions in response to a volatile and fast-moving chain of events could have produced any number of different outcomes...not necessarily including the first great catastrophe of the 20th century. A brilliant, compelling, and extremely important book. Highest Recommendation. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis

In page-turning style (reminiscent of her Citizens of London) Lynne Olson captures the ferocity, the passion, and the no-holds-barred nature of the white hot debate between American isolationists vs. interventionists in the "war before the war". Unputdownable. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis
